Linus Torvalds 23aa4b416a This holds a few fixes to the ftrace infrastructure as well as
the mixture of function graph tracing and kprobes.
 
 When jprobes and function graph tracing is enabled at the same time
 it will crash the system.
 
   # modprobe jprobe_example
   # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
 
 After the first fork (jprobe_example probes it), the system will crash.
 This is due to the way jprobes copies the stack frame and does not
 do a normal function return. This messes up with the function graph
 tracing accounting which hijacks the return address from the stack
 and replaces it with a hook function. It saves the return addresses in
 a separate stack to put back the correct return address when done.
 But because the jprobe functions do not do a normal return, their
 stack addresses are not put back until the function they probe is called,
 which means that the probed function will get the return address of
 the jprobe handler instead of its own.
 
 The simple fix here was to disable function graph tracing while the
 jprobe handler is being called.
 
 While debugging this I found two minor bugs with the function graph
 tracing.
 
 The first was about the function graph tracer sharing its function hash
 with the function tracer (they both get filtered by the same input).
 The changing of the set_ftrace_filter would not sync the function recording
 records after a change if the function tracer was disabled but the
 function graph tracer was enabled. This was due to the update only checking
 one of the ops instead of the shared ops to see if they were enabled and
 should perform the sync. This caused the ftrace accounting to break and
 a ftrace_bug() would be triggered, disabling ftrace until a reboot.
 
 The second was that the check to update records only checked one of the
 filter hashes. It needs to test both the "filter" and "notrace" hashes.
 The "filter" hash determines what functions to trace where as the "notrace"
 hash determines what functions not to trace (trace all but these).
 Both hashes need to be passed to the update code to find out what change
 is being done during the update. This also broke the ftrace record
 accounting and triggered a ftrace_bug().
 
 This patch set also include two more fixes that were reported separately
 from the kprobe issue.
 
 One was that init_ftrace_syscalls() was called twice at boot up.
 This is not a major bug, but that call performed a rather large kmalloc
 (NR_syscalls * sizeof(*syscalls_metadata)). The second call made the first
 one a memory leak, and wastes memory.
 
 The other fix is a regression caused by an update in the v3.19 merge window.
 The moving to enable events early, moved the enabling before PID 1 was
 created. The syscall events require setting the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT
 for all tasks. But for_each_process_thread() does not include the swapper
 task (PID 0), and ended up being a nop. A suggested fix was to add
 the init_task() to have its flag set, but I didn't really want to mess
 with PID 0 for this minor bug. Instead I disable and re-enable events again
 at early_initcall() where it use to be enabled. This also handles any other
 event that might have its own reg function that could break at early
 boot up.
